An easy way is to use TomTom Home to delete all of the voices that you don't intend to use. This will give you more than enough memory for adding favourites. Just to be safe, do a backup first!

How do you get the TomTom 1 XL to read the maps that are on the SD card? I have extra maps on a 2GB Sd card and the TomTom 1 XL says that it cannot read them. I would be grateful for any help here.

The TomTom operates either on its internal memory, or on the SD card. If you want it to use the maps on its internal memory, turn it on without the card inserted. If you want it to use the maps on the card, plug the card in, before you turn the unit on. If the maps are obtained in the correct way, the card will also be loaded with an up to date operating system. It is the lack of this that is your problem. It does happen that downloads become corrupted in some way, so it may help to plug the TomTom into your PC, connect on-line to TomTom and try an update. Could be that any corrupt data is replaced, allowing the unit to operate normally. The TomTom operates either on its internal memory, or on the SD card.

The TomTom ONE XL lets you use handy and very cheap SD cards for virtually unlimited data storage of maps and POI's. Nice !

Tom Tom worked on my iPod 4 with the Dual 10/10 untill there was a Tom Tom upgrade about 3 weeks ago. GPS is working fine on my iPod 2 with Tom Tom which received the same upgrade with the same Dual unit. I contacted Tom Tom and they said to wait for the next upgrade

Karen, you cannot add memory. You buy it as it is with 32 GB. Upgrade not possible, sorry.

Thank you!My OS is 7.161 but my map version is 705. The 710 is available for 50 Euros...(?)I downloaded the Starbucks POIs from the tomtomforum but the only way to access them is through the Browse map feature. The Starbucks icons appear on the map and I can select one and then Navigate there.Should the 710 map version be available with the One out of the box or is it an upgrade?Thanks again for your help.

don't know if it would have enough memory left after the tomtom maps use up a very large chunk of the 2 gb supplied. i do use it as a backup aviation gps (load software from anywhere map). for logs (actually kml files), i have recently installed this http://www.visualgps.net/BeeLineGPS/default.htm. works like a charm :) however, to be honest, i don't know of any lightweight topo application that can be run on this.

General rule of thumb would be to plan ahead and update your GPS prior to taking your trip. It's sort of like years ago we might have gone through a collection of maps that we owned to take the ones that we wanted for that trip. Would guess that you might have already been there since you posted your question, but going to the excellent TomTom website answers a lot of questions: http://www.tomtom.com/ And regarding your question about the SD cards, this is from the TomTom support section... Question: Can I store extra files (photo's, mp3's, audiobooks) on a separate SD card for my TomTom GO? Answer: Yes. To store MP3's, audiobooks or photos, create a folder (directory) on the SD card and name it mp3, audiobooks or photos. Simply copy the appropriate files into the correct folder, insert the SD card into your device and turn the TomTom on. Your GO will automatically search for these files when starting up. http://www.tomtom.com/support/index.php?Language=4&FID=7487 Please note that this refers to a different model, but the concept is the same. Hope this helps.

You can get a new battery on e-bay and there is probably video of the proceedure on youtube, otherwise will need to purchase a new GPS. I would recommend a Garmin as I like the Garmins much better than the Tomtoms and I have owned two in the past. I hope this helps!

I wasn't able to create my own route with multiple way points on this unit. My old TomTom is the XL and I downloaded the free Tyre program that works with Google Earth to create itineraries. Tyre works with TomTom and Garmin and you can create an itinerary with lots of waypoints or stops. You can also edit itineraries you already have on your TomTom. Needless to say I bought the VIA 1605 but returned it. Like you I wanted a unit I could create my own itinerary with lots of waypoints.

8 wasn't able to find anything either. I took the risk and bought the unit. Turns out its a pretty good GPS. Only issue I have is the time on it is not always correct. Wish I could help more.

You cannot add more memory (RAM). You can add more storage Micro SD card. There is a slot on the side of the tablet where you would insert card.

The "maps" feature can be updated regularly by hooking it up to a computer and downloading the new map information. It appears that the memory inside the GPS does not have enough storage capacity for all of the map updates. At least that is what this person is saying was his/her experience. I haven't tried to update any maps yet, so I can't verify the Garmin's storage capacity. I can't imagine that it wouldn't have enough for at least one or two updates, but I have no personal knowledge.

Although I recently bought one of these cases and it works well with my Garmin, I know nothing about Tom Tom units.Why don't you just measure your GPS unit and compare it with the measurements given for the Bracketron?

I purchased the TomTom one XL and I am completely satisfied. It works great. I certainly do not miss the "text to talk" feature and love the large screen which is easier to see while driving and creates less distraction. Directions are perfect so far. The TomTom is quiote a bit less expensive which is nice and can be purchased at discounts on Ebay and Amazon. I bought mine from 6th Ave Electronics on Amazon and received it in three days with great communication. Check for a 95% or higher feedback rating before you buy, to get an honest dealer.

Hey, Andrew, I bought the TomTom One 125 at Christmas. I bought one for myself and one for my mother, who will probably never use it, but she doesn't use anything we get her for Christmas anyway. The TomTom One 125 works great with Macintosh. When you plug it into your Mac (I've used it with my MacBook), it will ask you to confirm on the GPS that you want to connect to your computer. It will then show up like a Disk Mount on your desktop. You should also download the Tom Tom Home software for Mac, which works great as well. Once your GPS is attached to your Mac, you can do things like update maps, buy new maps, buy voices, buy different icons, etc. More importantly, you can join Mapshare to get the latest corrections to maps. The 125 is basic, easy and cheap. You're right. But, that's the great thing about it. I didn't want a video player, .mp3 player, etc. in my GPS. I just wanted a GPS. The mount that comes built in to this thing is also great. I love that it is compact and that it was under $100. Hope this helps!

Have to agree with comments regarding refurb units. Buyer beware however that the maps will almost never be the newest available and my units maps were three updates old. The cost to buy the new maps would have meant the refurb unit + map upgrade would be same price as a new unit. Mmmmm. Aside from that annoyance and the refusal of TomTom to allow a free upgrade to new maps, the unit looks good as a new one.

So what about the Lifetime Map Updates? Some of the more recent reviews make it seem like they are no longer functioning. Is this true? And how old is this model/when was it first released? Thanks in advance!Edit: Thought I'd add that I just bought an XL 335 SE from Wal-Mart on Black Friday for $80. It works well, but it seems like this would be a significant upgrade from that model for only $10 more! Tell me if I'm wrong!

J. Parsons is correct - the XL 325 doesn't have expandable memory. It has 1GB of internal memory, and the U.S. map on my unit (which is just the updated map sent for free from TomTom) is about 755MB. So, not much room left for other maps. You can back-up the U.S. map to your computer, though, and should be able to replace it with the European map while still keeping a copy of both. I don't know if both would fit on the unit at the same time.
